Carol Sing-a-long
Christmas Eve 2023
Angels We Have Heard On High
Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o’er the plains;
And the mountains in reply,
Echoing their joyous strains.
Glor…………ria
In excelsis de-o (repeat)
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be?
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Refrain
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Refrain
See Him in a manger laid,
Jesus, Lord of heaven and earth;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
With us sing our Savior’s birth.
Refrain
O Holy Night
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Til he appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees, O hear the angels’ voices
O night divine, O night, O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O night, O night divine
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord, His Name forever praise we
Noel, Noel, O night, O night divine
Noel, Noel, O night, O holy night
The Christmas Song
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows, a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother’s child is gonna spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay, remember Christ
The Savior, was born on Christmas Day
From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds brought
Tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
O tidings of com-fort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidents of comfort and joy
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and
Brotherhood each other now em-brace
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth de-face
O tidings of com-fort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of com-fort and joy
Angels From The Realms of Glory
Angels from the realms of glory
Wing your flight o’er all the earth
Ye who sang creation’s story
Now proclaim Messiah’s birth
Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ the new born king
Shepherds in the field a-biding
Watching o’er your flocks by night
God with us is now residing
Yonder shines the infant light
Refrain
All creation join in praising
God the Father, Spirit, Son
Evermore your voice raising
To th’eternal Three in One
Refrain
I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth good will to men
I thought how as they day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth good will to men
And in despair I bowed my head
There is no peace on earth I said
For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth good will to men
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor doth He sleep
The wrong shall fail the right prevail
With peace on earth, with peace on earth
Good will to men
